Too bad they didn't give a copy to MSU. I wonder if it would beat Mainconcept.

The price is good... $75K

The PC could still only cost 10K max (and that's without really thinking about what it would really cost

is this a general h264 encoding program like megui with its additional progs x264 cli etc. or is this more like the normal CCE, just for HD-DVDs ?

HD H264 real time encoder exist:

Only for hardware, need to buy after a software available to
encode in H264.


But now we want to know if CinemaCraft is good solution or
only an other product (in the long catalogue of H264 product).
Nobody have some video coded with CinemaCraft HD?

I guess no one here has spent 75000 bucks for that proggie yet :D

It is nor equivalent of the CCE-SP, but rather CCE-Xtream.

As I said in different post the speed is 1.5 -2.5 times faster than RT (for full HD input 1920x1080), but you need quad core xeons.
Also there is segment based re-encoding, which can save you a lots of the time.
Mainconcept works quite fast (with quite good quality, Ateme even better) on 2x dual core 3.0GHZ xeons, but it's still 3-6 times slower than RT.
3 times slower multiply by 2 times faster= 6 times less time to encode movie. So you can encode in 2 hours instead of 12:)

Probably all qood studios sooner or later will have this encoder. It's not for private people.

I believe the trial version of Mpegrepair does AVC in addition to Mpeg2. It is crippled to the number of frames it can process in the demo. Dunno if it compares.

AFAIK, CinemaCraft is only ever purchased and used for professional Blu-ray authoring. The price is ballpark reasonable for that sector. There were hardware MPEG-2 encoders like the Minerva for DVD that cost >>$75K in inflation-adjusted dollars. Wow, 25 years ago now.

(I actually encoded the first ever DVD made entirely on a PC, burned with one of the first three DVD-R writers in North America. It was 1x speed and we had to clear the floor of the building to reduce vibrations to get the failure rate down to only 60%)

The old Cinema Craft was sold to Silicon Philosophies (https://siliconphilosophies.de/cinemacraft-cc-hde/).
The developers behind Cinema Craft created SiriusPixels, and have a similar encoder (probably more up to date): http://www.siriuspixels.com/Sirius-Pixels-HDe-AVC.php
